It does NOT include tolls, driver accommodations on overnight trips, cleaning fees if required, or parking passes at your destination. For example, parking at UD Arena costs $20–$40 per bus depending on the event; Dayton Dragons group drop-off requires advance coordination but no additional fee; and Nutter Center charges $10–$30 for bus parking. You’ll need to cover those expenses separately.
